I was out running some errands the other day when I heard a commercial on the radio for a local eating establishment that made me think of you. I don’t remember the specific restaurant the ad was for, but it ended with a phrase that proclaimed the food was good enough “to die for.” I’m sure you’re familiar with this phrase. It’s typically used when you are trying to make a point regarding how special, delicious or valuable something is. Well, when I heard that phrase, a question immediately arose in my mind.

Is there anything in your life you would literally be willing to die for? I realize this is a rather deep and philosophical question, but I think one of my primary responsibilities here is to get you to think a bit about your life, health and what’s important to you. It’s in that spirit that I ask you to take a moment and consider the following question: Is there a person, place, thing or belief you value so much you would literally be willing to die for it? Hopefully, you never have to test this theory in real life, but I’m hopeful that the simple act of considering this question will provide you with some insight into what it is that you value most in your life.
